Associate Professor Yevhen Riabov, Liliia Overianova, and postgraduate students Volodymyr Neshcheret and Andrii Podoliak from the Department participated in the 2025 IEEE 6th KhPI Week on Advanced Technology (October 6–10, Kharkiv, Ukraine) with the presentation “Selection of Cell Type for the Energy Storage System of a Hybrid Power Unit for a Diesel Train”, carried out within the project “Energy Management in Plug-in Hybrid Traction Systems of Railway Rolling Stock Equipped with a Multi-Motor Electric Drive”, funded by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.
The authors investigated the mass and dimensional characteristics of energy storage systems using supercapacitors and various types of lithium-based cells. The use of the storage system was considered both for energy recovery and in the plug-in operating mode. It was determined that when operating in the energy recovery mode, the lowest mass and dimensional parameters are achieved using LTO cells, while in the plug-in mode, the best results are obtained with LFP and NMC cells. The obtained results will be applied in further research dedicated to hybrid energy systems.
